How long before HAM realises the shit show he has joined?

Retire after this year, or switch to red bull?

Why do they disqualify them immediately? Why not let them fix the problems? One only needs a replacement part and the other two a dummy weight.

Because it's a penalty for a race that's already over obviously

Did you actually think they weigh the cars mid race?

Which would make a whole lot of sense as it has an influence on the whole race if some of the cars are out of spec...

That would penalize teams that run a more efficient fuel or engine. Since that would force them to carry more fuel than necessary. Also they wouldn’t catch Lewis’ skid block violation before the race. Since everyone gets new skid blocks before the race. The skid block is to catch people who violate the ride height requirement. The skid block will wear down during the race if it wears down too much the FIA knows that the car was too low. Ride height is hard to measure on a stationary car since downforce and suspension settings influence how low it gets during a race.
